Independents

Some of you may recall I took delivery of the Moser & Cie Perpetual 1 a little over two years ago. It was a rose gold black dial version, very elegant in looks.

That watch arrived on the same day with the Observatoire and I was naturally esctatic. Since then, the watch experienced some technical hiccups but Moser managed to correct them. Unfazed, I dreamt about an upgrade to the palladium version when it was later introduced. To me, the lighter metal combined with the fume dial is a killer.

Perhaps in anticipation of the upcoming extra day for the leap year, I was notified by my AD that the first-ever (for them) palladium piece arrived. I of course took no time to pay them a visit, with predictable results. Voila...

I am a very happy man as evidenced by these hastily taken wrist-shots:

Despite my poor photography skills, the palladium version is sooooo much better, don't you agree?

I am full of jealous feeling now.

Unfortunately these are the best I can come up with (today is a gloomy day and I got back home rather late in the afternoon). The pictures are not really doing the watch justice...

I promise to take some proper ones when I can get my hands to it

Very nice and I can see why you like it so much, perfect blend of colors in my opinion

an odd looking couple, IMO

A very special watch which looks so simple... and which is complicated.

Congrats Sam!

You have a very impression collection! This Moser fits in with the rest of the collection perfectly!

Would be nice to see some of these brothers and sisters sitting next to each other in a line up!

Enjoy!

This how Purist move forward , wear it in good health and thanks for sharing.

Here are some slightly better (IMHO) pictures...

 

The fumė dial is phantastic. The previous one with The Black dial was beautiful as well.

Yowza!  That PD version is gorgeous, and the original RG with the black enamel is nothing to sneeze at, either.

One of the better indie perpetuals for me.  Congrats Sam.  A great addition to your already fantastic collection!

It's a beautiful piece and one that I would very much like to see in the flesh

Good timing! Fantastic catch! The feeling of getting the very first piece is just out of this world. I can still recall mine when I got my first Perpectual 1 Platinum.

That smoked dial is gorgeous, but I have to admit I prefer the first one.  There's something about the contract of yellow gold and a black dial that rings all my bells, and the Moser implementation is particularly successful.

My fav version also.

 

I've been "playing" with one like yours for the last two weeks, and it's definitely a reference in the independent haute horlogerie world. Love it's simplicity at first glance, and it's complexity once you realize what's in your hands.

 

 

Enjoy it, and thanks for sharing.
